SUMMARY:Simon Spillett Quartet: Celebrating Tubby Hayes. £20 adv. £22 door
DESCRIPTION:2026 marks a milestone anniversary for tenor saxophonist and bandleader Simon Spillett; 30 years on the UK jazz scene. Since his debut in the 1990s he has risen to become one of Britain’s most prominent jazz figures.  \nAn instrumentalist with a powerful\, straight-ahead style\, drawing on the best of the jazz tradition and in particular the inspiration of an illustrious forebear\, the late great Tubby Hayes (whose music he’ll be performing)\, he is highly popular attraction playing sold out gigs at the best jazz clubs and at virtually every festival of consequence with both his regular quartet and his star-studded big band. \nAs a recording artists he has released five well-regarded albums\, with his big band debut CD\, Dear Tubby H. (2023)\, garnering a much deserved five stars in Jazzwise. \nHe’s also picked up a clutch of awards; BBC Rising Star (2007)\, Jazz Journal Album of the Year (2008)\, Top Tenor Saxophone\, British Jazz Awards (2011)\, and ‘Services to British Jazz’ (2016). \nA charismatic performer\, gifted with a dry observational wit\, he’s never lost sight of the fact that jazz is entertainment as much as art and whether playing\, writing or articulately holding forth on his favourite subject – UK jazz history – he’s an infectiously passionate communicator. \nIndeed\, between playing\, he has found time to pen a widely-praised biography of Tubby Hayes (The Long Shadow of The Little Giant)\, write sleeve notes to over 150 albums\, contribute articles to magazines and act as an anchor interviewee on documentaries for the BBC and Jazz FM. \n​Simon Spillett (Tenor Saxophone)\, Pete Billington (Piano)\, Alec Dankworth (Double Bass)\,� Pete Cater (Drums).

SUMMARY:Graham Parker - 50th Anniversary Of Howlin Wind & Heat Treatment // Colchester Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Graham Parker Solo – Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the classic albums Howlin’ Wind andHeat Treatment. \nSlinging his signature guitar and singing with inimitable soulful grit\, Graham Parker has spent more than four decades carving out a singular place in rock and roll. A critics’ favorite and a songwriter’s songwriter\, he emerged in the mid-1970s at a pivotal moment in British music. With his band The Rumour\, Parker released a run of essential albums including Howlin’ Wind\, Heat Treatment\, and the undisputed classic Squeezing Out Sparks\, records that fused literate songwriting with the raw energy that helped reshape rock in the late seventies. \nThroughout the following decades Parker continued to evolve\, releasing acclaimed solo albums such as The Up Escalator\, Another Grey Area\, and The Mona Lisa’s Sister\, blending British rock attitude with deep roots in American R&B\, soul\, and country traditions. Rolling Stone once observed that Parker “owed more to Dylan and Van Morrison than to his punk counterparts\,” a lineage reflected in the emotional intelligence and biting wit that define his songwriting. \nApril 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of Parker’s debut album Howlin’ Wind. To celebratethe milestone\, writer Jay Nachman has authored a new book\, Graham Parker: Howlin’ Wind\,featuring extensive interviews with Parker\, members of The Rumour\, and producer Nick Lowe. The book traces Parker’s childhood and early musical journey\, revealing the experiences and influences that shaped the songs on this classic record. \nAdding to the celebration\, a new limited-edition live album recorded in England featuringParker with The Goldtops and backing singers The Lady Bugs will be released on vinyl in May 2026. \nMore than fifty years after his debut\, Graham Parker remains a true original. His musiccontinues to blend soul\, rock\, wit\, and sharp storytelling in a way that few artists have matched\, securing his place among the most enduring voices in rock and roll.

SUMMARY:The Delines at Arts Centre - Colchester
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £27.50.Doors open 7.30pm\, starts 8pm.This gig is for a seated audience. \nThe Delines were formed after Richmond Fontaine singer/songwriter\, Willy Vlautin\, heard singer\, Amy Boone (The Damnations)\, sing just one single ballad. He was so moved by her voice that he secretly wrote her songs for over a year before approaching her to start a band. Lucky for all she liked what she heard and The Delines were formed. \nFontaine’s Sean Oldham on drums\, Freddie Trujillo on bass\, Vlautin on guitar\, and multi-instrumentalist Cory Gray on keyboards and horns. \nVlautin is no stranger to critical acclaim in the US\, UK\, and Europe\, enjoying cult success and rave reviews from the likes of the New York Times\, Washington Post\, Uncut\, MOJO\, Hot Press\, Rolling Stone and the Wall Street Journal\, both as a novelist with seven books under his belt\, and as the former front man/songwriter of the Americana outfit Richmond Fontaine who produced eleven acclaimed studio albums. Three of his novels have been turned into feature films: The Motel Life\, Lean on Pete\, and The Night Always Comes. Ursula K. Le Guin said this of Vlautin’s writing\, “Willy Vlautin is one of the bravest novelists writing… An unsentimental Steinbeck\, a heartbroken Haruf\, Willy Vlautin tells us who really lives now in our America\, our city in ruins.” \nhttps://www.thedelines.com/ \n“The Delines’ exemplary seventh album… Vlautin’s latest pin-sharp vignettes of drifters\, con artists and the left behind… Behind Vlautin’s writing and Amy Boone’s poised\, soulful delivery\, Cory Gray’s horns swoon and sway in sympathy.” Uncut – 9/10 \n“With its soft-edged brass\, Wichita Lineman twangs and soft-purring organ\, the perfectly weighted\, often filmic music is impeccable\, short instrumental pieces punctuating episodic\, detail-rich character studies which singer Amy Boone delivers with her usual flair and poise.” MOJO – 4 stars **** \n“Stunning doesn’t begin to cover it… Over the last couple of albums there has been a growing sophistication in the way Willy Vlautin writes\, and in how The Delines interpret his stories\, and this is another step forward in that process.” Americana UK – 9/10
